LOUIS A. MARINELLI, OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVA- CONE.

Application flled July 29, 1922. Serial No. 578,376.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Loms A. MARINELLI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cones, of which the following is a s ecification.

This invention re ates to cones which are made of pastry and are .used for making ice 10. cream cones.

One of the main objects of the invention is to provide a cone which can be nested or stacked and which is so constructed as to prevent binding and consequent, breakage of 16 the cones. A further object is to provide a cone of this character which may be readily produced at small cost and is so made as to insure pro er cooking of the smaller or tip portion 0 the cone. Further 20 objects will appear from the detailed description.

In the drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of several cones constructed in accordance with my invention in nested relation;

Figure 2 is a similar view, the lower cone being shown in section.

In the present type of cone greatbreakage is often caused by the fact, that the cones, when nested, fit tightly into one another and become stuck together, the cones being broken or split when it is attempted to separate the same. To avoid this serious objection I provide simple and efiicient means whereby downward movement of the cones within each other is positively limited so as to permit nesting of the cones while eflt'ectually-preventing them from becomi stuck together or binding. With this ob ect in vview I provide cone 1, which is made of 40 edible pastry, with an inner annular shoulder2 positioned adjacent to the smaller or tip portion 1 of the cone. Portion 1 is provided with a central opening 2 extending from shoulder 2 to within a very short distance of the lower end of thecone, this opening insuring thorough cookin of the tip portion of the cone. The shou der 2 is so positioned as to contact with the lower end of a cone-nested in cone 1 so as to positively limit downward movement of the inner cone while permitting the same to fit snugly within the outer cone. By positive ,ly limiting downward movement of the inner cone I effectually prevent binding between the cones so that, when nested, the

cones may be readily separated.

What I claim is:- v 1. A cone provided at its tip ortion with an annular shoulder positione to contact 'with and positively limit downward movement of a second cone nested in the first mentioned cone.

2. A cone provided at its tip rtion with an inner annular shoulder, sai cone being further provided with a central opening 1 extending from the shoulder to within a short distance of the tip of the cone and adapted to receive the end portion of the tip of a second cone nested in the first cone and seating on said shoulder.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

LOUIS A. MARINELLI.
